It is undisputed that all the petitioners have made representations to the Government in this respect. These representations are pending.
In facts of the present case, I am of the opinion that these issues should be at the first instance examined by the concerned authority. Under the circumstances, respondent No. 1, Principal Secretary, Directorate of Higher Education, Government of Tripura shall examine the grievances of the petitioners and in particular those raised in their respective representations and dispose of the representations within a period of 2(two) months from the date of receipt of the copy of this order by a speaking order. If the decision of the said authority is adverse to the petitioners, it would open for them to approach this Court by filing fresh petitions. With these directions, the petitions are disposed of. ” Page - 3 of 3 This order and directions contained therein shall cover these cases also, with the modification that the representations of the present petitioners shall be disposed of within a period of 2(two) months from the date of receipt of copy of this order by a speaking order.
